57 men ordained for Heralds of the Gospel after Vatican moratorium lifted (Catholic Herald)

Thirty-one deacons and 26 priests were ordained in Brazil for Virgo Flos Carmeli, the clerical branch of Heralds of the Gospels, after the Vatican lifted a seven-year moratorium on ordinations.

The Heralds were founded in 2001 in Brazil. The Vatican ordered an apostolic visitation of the association in 2017 and named Cardinal Raymundo Damasceno Assis as pontifical commissioner. Ordinations were halted in 2019.
